Post 100!

Looks like I've finally made 100 posts on this blog you are now peep'n.It's certainly changed a lot since I first started in which I had as a side thing when I first started illustration.My tastes and styles have varied a lot in the past three years and here's hoping that I'm much closer to being somewhat satisfied with what I can create.

Speaking of change,expect some new developments,new approaches and more importantly - a new blog design soon (I need to get rid of those damn eyes!!)

The images here are rough pencils which are part of a minicomic I'm working on.It'll be A5 and something I can use as a promotional item for gatherings/cons.I'll have more to say once I get everything done for college.

It's about bears btw...

Roughs continued

Roughs 15/3/12

Sample roughs of the first 3 pages of the comic I'm working on currently.My main focus towards these pages was to keep within a lot of continuity and familiarise the scene a little.Panel 4 on the first page needs to be fixed and hands need to be adjusted.

The Norka

  

Few sketches from an assignment I'm working on at the moment for the Bologna Book Fair.Like last years brief, I'm keeping it loose style wise.The story I chose is an old Russian Fairy Tale (again with the Russkies) about a multidimension mink who terrorizes a King's land.So he sends his three sons to slay the beast,in return for all his inheritance.

 Roughs on Norka.Looking a bit haggard!

Two of the Kings oldest sons,the main antagonists.

 Two of the three princesses (sisters of the Norka,bizarre I know,right?) There's a plot element involving them turning their palaces into eggs,should be interesting to draw...

...and finally here's some thumbnail developments.First one is of the King's council,just have a bit of tweaking to do for the arrangement of things.The one below is of the third son and hero of the story,discovering one of the princesses palaces.

The Gears Are in Motion
